Figure 4
Schematic image depicting wire entrapment caused by ‘branch point malapposition’ (BPM). (A) Stent deployment just proximal to bifurcation along the wire in distal main vessel. (B) Wire switched to side branch with a loop tip. (C) Wire tip caught by distal stent edge during retrieval due to BPM. (D) Stent deformity caused by pulling of entrapped wire.
